To all whome' may concern:

Be it known that LJQHN RYcKMAN, e.

' citizen of the AUnited States, residing at Minneapoiis, in the county of Hennepin'and State of Minnesota, have inventedcertain new and useful improvements in KeroseneyGes Generators and Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to' be s, ull,

clear, and exact description of the invention, such es will enable ot 1ers skiiled 1n the art to which 1t appertains to make anduse the yMy invention has for its object to provide an extremely simple and highly eiiieient kerosene vgas generator and 'burner adapted for application inv the tire pot of an ordinary range or cooking stove, as asirbstltute for Vthe Wood or coal burning grates, butadapted for more general use.

To such ends, generally stated, the inven-l tion conslsts ofthe novel devices and comblnations of devices descmbed and defined 1nl drawings, which ke characters indl- .Referring to the drawings Figure 1 is a pla-n viewvwith some parts sectioned, showi. ing mytimproved generator and burner.

Fig. .2 is a side elevetionof the parts shown in Fig. l;`- Fig. 3 is avertical sectiontaken onthe line an? .r2 ohig. 1. lFiga is a trans verse section taken on the line :v4 of Fig.

2; and Fig. 5 is a right side eleva-tion of the generator and burner, some parts being broken away.

The numeral 1 indicates a door adapted to beibolted or otherwise secured to the range or stove at the .open -end of the fire pot'- 'operating rod 15, the outer end of which extends throu h' the door 1', and is provided thereof.

The numeral -2 lndlcates a rectangular fmarginal generating pan, which is `troughlike or channel' shape y1n cross.i section, so

` `l thatit y.will contain the requisite amount of.

kerosene for eecting the preliminary gen eration of gas. This generating pan is of a size which will fit within the fire pot of the stove or range to which it is to be applied, and, etwits outer end, it is rigidly secured to the door 1 with freedom for vertical' pivotal adjustments, by means of short nut-equipped bolts 3 passed through-anges thereof and through slots oli. supporting; lugs i. which.

latter are preferably cast integral lwith said door.

'The-numeral 5 indicates yan oil supply pipe which ergtnds into the fire pot through 'thedoor l and -is bent into approximately medie'tely over the marginal, generatingpan rectangular form, so that it lille' and lies Virn- 2. The front end of this oil supply pipe 5 isconnected to a Valve casing 6, shown as extended through the door` land having a needle valve 7, the stem of which terminates 1n a hand piece 8 locatedoutside of the door. The needle valvev 7 controls a discharge orifice thatispositioned to discharge into the open end oi s. 'mixing tithe '9, shown. as bolted to a -cross bar 9.a of the generating pan 2. The inner end of this mixing tube'9 1s turned upward and 1s rlgidly secured, by

vbeing integrallyvcast, or otherwise, `to the intermediate portion of the hollow, fiat and approximately rectangular bui-ner head' l0.l This burner head l() has imperforate upper and lower plates, and it is of such size that it nearly, or not. quite, fills the rectangulac 'spaeeinside ofthe rectangular loop of the oil delivery pipe 5. The longitudinal edfres of the burner'hesd- '10 arey beveled, pre er-r ably at an un le of aboutthirty degrees,i

and these beve ed edges areprovided'with' slots 1l that' afl'ord .the desired gas escape passage. A considerable intermediate. portion of each beveled edge of the burner head,

y inthevicinity of the upturned end of the mixing tube 9, is left solid or'ree for perf forutlons, so that the gas will strike the topV plate of the burner head and be deiected to the ends thereof, and thus evenly distributed.

Within the burner head '10 is a. cut-off valve12 that issecured to a small rock shaft v13 having, at its outer end, an arm 14. The

erm 14 is connected to the inner end of an with a suite. lo hand piece or knob lo. .The l rectangular loop of the oil pipe 5 is also shown as connected to the burner head lgbv a. plurality of connecting loopsl 17.. When adjustments, as is evident, may he accomplished byd manipulation of the hand kpiece 1G of the rod l5, and by manipulation of the han d piece 8 of the needle valve 7, which latter regulates the supply of the oil.

The purpose of making thel door ly vadjust-able on the bolts 3 is to provide for the setting of the burner head, and parts rigidlyv vconnected therewith` in" a true .horizontal position, lregardless of Whether the door 1 is secured to the stove or range in a true vertical position or in au oblique position.

cooking stoves, such as found onv the market. e 1: t

The improved burner above described is shown as designed for application in a range or cooking stove but it will, of course,be understood that the burner may be made in different formsy and sizes' and` used for various other purposes. For instance, 1t may be used Y, in hot Waterv andy steam heating )'systems, in

boilers and in heating stoves.

'easily applied to j WhatI claim is l. The combination with an elongated 3c burner head having an imperforate portion and having gas escape passages on the opposite sides of said intermediate imperiorate portiomof a gas delivery tube connected to said burner head at the intermediate imperforate portion thereof, and a cut-off valve Within said 'burner head located adjacent to the delivery end of said tube and operative to cut 0H one end portion of said burner headfrom the supply ofigas. v

A burner of the kind described comprising a marginal channel shape generating lyingv said generating-pan, a burner head :supported andsurrounded-by. said oil delivery pipe, a tube receiving from the said oii delivery pipe and delivering into the intermediate portion vof said burner head, andy a door to which thefsaid generatingA pan, oil

delivery tube and burner head are connected.`
